+# Story 5.4: Validate Bundled Installation Completeness
+
+Status: done
+
+<!-- Note: Validation is optional. Run validate-create-story for quality check before dev-story. -->
+
+## Story
+
+As a **Chief Architect**,
+I want to verify that installation from the bundled npm package produces a complete, functional BMAD environment,
+So that deterministic installation is validated (NFR21).
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. **Given** the ma-agents npm package is installed (via `npm install` or local `npm pack` tarball)
+   **When** `npx ma-agents install` is run selecting BMAD installation
+   **Then** the resulting `_bmad/` directory is complete with all modules: core, bmm, bmb, cis, tea, gds
+
+2. **Given** the installation is complete
+   **When** the user runs any BMAD workflow (e.g., `/bmad-bmm-create-prd`)
+   **Then** the workflow executes correctly without errors
+
+3. **Given** the installation is complete
+   **When** the user runs `npx ma-agents status`
+   **Then** the status output shows all installed skills and BMAD modules correctly
+
+4. **Given** the npm package is installed from a tarball (simulated air-gapped)
+   **When** `npx ma-agents install` is run with `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0` enforced
+   **Then** no git clone or npm registry fetch occurs for BMAD components (verified via network monitoring or offline simulation)
+
+5. **Given** the installation succeeds on an already-installed project
+   **When** `npx ma-agents install` is run a second time (idempotency test)
+   **Then** existing cache is preserved (modules skipped), bmad-method re-invoked, no errors
+
+6. **Given** installation runs with `--force` flag
+   **When** `npx ma-agents install --force` is executed
+   **Then** cache modules are replaced (not skipped), fresh install completes successfully
+
+7. **Given** all validation steps complete
+   **When** dev agent completes the story
+   **Then** a test procedure document `docs/validation/bundled-installation-validation.md` exists documenting all validation steps and results

+## Dev Notes
+
+### Story Nature: Validation + Documentation
+
+This is primarily a **manual validation and documentation story**, not a new code implementation story. The dev agent should:
+1. Execute the validation steps as a hands-on tester
+2. Fix minor issues found (e.g., missing parameter threading, edge cases)
+3. Produce the validation document as the primary deliverable
+
+If substantial code changes are needed, flag them and consider whether a new story is required.
+
+### What Was Built in Stories 5.1–5.3
+
+| Story | Key Deliverable | Status |
+|-------|----------------|--------|
+| 5.1 | `getBmadCommand()` using `require.resolve('bmad-method/tools/bmad-npx-wrapper.js')` — eliminates `npx bmad-method` runtime fetch | done |
+| 5.2 | `npm run build:bmad-cache` script — clones 4 external modules into `lib/bmad-cache/` | done |
+| 5.3 | `prePopulateBmadCache(force=false)` in `lib/bmad.js` — copies bundled cache to `~/.bmad/cache/external-modules/` before bmad-method runs | done |
+
+### Current `lib/bmad.js` State (316 lines)
+
+Key integration points to verify during validation:
+```javascript
+// Line ~38: installBmad()
+await prePopulateBmadCache(force);
+execSync(command, { stdio: 'inherit', cwd: projectRoot, env: { ...process.env, GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT: '0' } });
+
+// Line ~63: updateBmad()
+await prePopulateBmadCache(force);
+execSync(command, { stdio: 'inherit', cwd: projectRoot, env: { ...process.env, GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT: '0' } });
+
+// Line ~137: applyCustomizations()
+await prePopulateBmadCache(force);
+execSync(command, { stdio: 'inherit', cwd: projectRoot, env: { ...process.env, GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT: '0' } });
+
+// Exports (line 311+):
+module.exports = { isBmadInstalled, installBmad, updateBmad, applyCustomizations, prePopulateBmadCache };
+```
+
+### Bundled Cache State (Current)
+
+`lib/bmad-cache/` already exists and contains:
+- `bmb/` — bmad-builder (commit `4a790580`)
+- `cis/` — bmad-module-creative-intelligence-suite (commit `e6f64391`)
+- `gds/` — bmad-module-game-dev-studio (commit `962c91e3`)
+- `tea/` — bmad-method-test-architecture-enterprise (commit `494044af`)
+- `cache-manifest.json` — generated 2026-03-16T12:31:50.732Z
+
+### Validation Document Template
+
+Create `docs/validation/bundled-installation-validation.md` with this structure:
+
+```markdown
+# Bundled BMAD Installation Validation
+
+**Package version:** ma-agents X.Y.Z
+**bmad-method version:** 6.0.4
+**Validation date:** YYYY-MM-DD
+**Tester environment:** Node.js vX.X.X, OS: ..., npm vX.X.X
+
+## Validation Steps
+
+| Step | Description | Result | Notes |
+|------|-------------|--------|-------|
+| V1 | npm pack → tarball contains lib/bmad-cache/ | PASS/FAIL | |
+| V2 | npm install from tarball — bmad-method present in node_modules | PASS/FAIL | |
+| V3 | npx ma-agents install — cache pre-population messages appear | PASS/FAIL | |
+| V4 | Post-install: ~/.bmad/cache/external-modules/ has 4 modules | PASS/FAIL | |
+| V5 | Post-install: _bmad/ has core + bmm + bmb + cis + tea + gds | PASS/FAIL | |
+| V6 | Idempotency: second install skips existing cache | PASS/FAIL | |
+| V7 | --force: replaces cache modules | PASS/FAIL | |
+| V8 | npx ma-agents status shows correct output | PASS/FAIL | |
+| V9 | No git clone or npm fetch during offline simulation | PASS/FAIL | |
+| V10 | BMAD workflows present and syntactically valid | PASS/FAIL | |
+
+## Issues Found
+
+[Document any issues discovered during validation]
+
+## Conclusion
+
+[Overall assessment: Installation is deterministic and complete / Issues require follow-up story]
+```
+
+### Architecture Compliance
+
+- **Decision P2-6** (Bundled BMAD Installation): This story validates the complete 2-step mechanism is working: (1) cache pre-population from `lib/bmad-cache/` → `~/.bmad/cache/external-modules/`, (2) bmad-method invoked from npm dependency via `require.resolve`.
+- **NFR20** (Version Pinning): Verify `bmad-method@6.0.4` is in `node_modules/` when installed from tarball.
+- **NFR21** (Deterministic Installation): Core validation goal — same package = same `_bmad/` output.
+- **NFR2** (Offline Operation): Simulating air-gapped by installing from tarball confirms no network dependency.
+
+### Critical Anti-Patterns to Check During Validation
+
+1. **Pre-population called AFTER bmad-method invocation** — verify `prePopulateBmadCache()` is at lines 38, 63, 137 (BEFORE execSync)
+2. **`GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0` missing** — verify env option is present on all 3 execSync calls
+3. **`lib/bmad-cache/` not shipped in tarball** — run `npm pack --dry-run` and confirm `lib/bmad-cache/` is included (check `.npmignore`)
+4. **`force` parameter not threading** — if `installBmad(projectRoot, force=false)` doesn't pass `force` to `prePopulateBmadCache()`, AC #6 fails
+
+### Check `.npmignore` for Cache Inclusion
+
+Run this to verify `lib/bmad-cache/` ships in the tarball:
+```bash
+npm pack --dry-run 2>&1 | grep "bmad-cache"
+```
+Expected output: lines listing `lib/bmad-cache/bmb/...`, `lib/bmad-cache/cis/...`, etc.
+If missing, `.npmignore` must NOT exclude `lib/bmad-cache/` — check and fix.
+
+### File Structure During Validation
+
+The test project should end up with:
+```
+test-project/
+├── _bmad/
+│   ├── core/           ← bmad-method core
+│   ├── bmm/            ← bmad-method module (with config.yaml, agents/, workflows/)
+│   ├── bmb/            ← builder module
+│   ├── cis/            ← creative intelligence suite
+│   ├── tea/            ← test architecture enterprise
+│   └── gds/            ← game dev studio
+├── node_modules/
+│   └── ma-agents/
+│       ├── lib/bmad-cache/    ← bundled cache (all 4 modules)
+│       └── node_modules/bmad-method/  ← pinned 6.0.4
+└── package.json
+```
+
+### Testing Standards
+
+- No automated test suite exists yet (Epic 7). Manual validation is sufficient.
+- Document all results in the validation document (Task 6).
+- If any test fails, fix the root cause in `lib/bmad.js` (or related files) before marking done.
+- The validation document serves as the acceptance evidence for this story.
+
+### Previous Story Intelligence (5.3)
+
+Key learnings from Story 5.3 that affect validation:
+- `prePopulateBmadCache()` signature changed: removed `projectRoot` param (M1 fix from code review) — call is now `await prePopulateBmadCache(force)`, not `prePopulateBmadCache(projectRoot, force)`
+- `force` parameter was added to `installBmad()`, `updateBmad()`, `applyCustomizations()` signatures during code review (H2 fix) — verify it's correctly threaded to `prePopulateBmadCache(force)` in all 3 callsites
+- Summary log only prints when `copied > 0 || replaced > 0` (M2 fix) — in idempotency test (all skipped), no summary line will appear. This is CORRECT behavior.
+- `fs.existsSync()` replaced with `await fs.pathExists()` (M3 fix) — consistent async usage throughout
+- Dev note from 5.3: "Design decision on determinism — bmad-method's `git fetch` on existing cache dirs succeeds silently on connected machines but does not alter outcome. For air-gapped, `git fetch` fails silently and pre-populated cache is used as-is." → Validate this in AC #4.
+
+### Git Intelligence
+
+Recent commits showing Epic 5 completion:
+```
+5fdbf70 feat: Pre-populate BMAD cache before bmad-method invocation (Story 5.3)
+0c32ceb feat: Add BMAD cache build script (Story 5.2)
+```
+
+Story 5.1 established `getBmadCommand()` using `require.resolve` — this is the foundation. Story 5.2 built the cache. Story 5.3 pre-populates it. Story 5.4 confirms it all works together.

+# Story 6.1: Bundle Methodology Presentation with Installation
+
+Status: review
+
+<!-- Note: Validation is optional. Run validate-create-story for quality check before dev-story. -->
+
+## Story
+
+As a **team lead**,
+I want the BMAD-METHOD presentation included when ma-agents is installed,
+So that new team members can learn the methodology without needing separate training materials.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. **Given** a methodology presentation file exists in the ma-agents package
+   **When** `npx ma-agents install` is run with BMAD installation
+   **Then** the presentation is copied to the project's BMAD output directory (e.g., `_bmad-output/methodology/`)
+   **And** the user is informed of the presentation location in the install summary
+
+2. **Given** the presentation already exists in the target directory
+   **When** a subsequent install or update is run
+   **Then** the presentation is updated only if a newer version exists
+   **And** existing copies are not overwritten without the `--force` flag
+   **Note:** `--force` semantics are consistent with existing usage — `--force` means "overwrite/force operations" across the codebase (see Epic 1 Story 1.1: `--yes` skips prompts, `--force` forces overwrites). CI/CD pipelines using `--force` will intentionally get the latest methodology content.
+
+3. **Given** BMAD is NOT installed (user only installed skills)
+   **When** the install completes
+   **Then** the methodology presentation is NOT copied (it's part of the BMAD bundle, not standalone skills)
+
+4. **Given** the methodology content is bundled
+   **When** the npm package is published
+   **Then** the presentation files are included in the package (listed in `package.json` `files` or not excluded by `.npmignore`)
+   **And** the package size increase is documented
+
+5. **Given** ma-agents is upgraded to a newer version with updated methodology content
+   **When** the user runs `npx ma-agents install` with BMAD (or `--action update`)
+   **Then** the methodology version check from AC #2 applies — newer content is deployed, same-version content is skipped
+   **And** this uses the same code path as the initial install (no separate update mechanism needed)
+
+## Tasks / Subtasks
+
+- [x] Task 1: Create methodology presentation content (AC: #1)
+  - [x] 1.1: Author methodology presentation in `lib/methodology/` directory (markdown or PDF format)
+  - [x] 1.2: Include sections: What is BMAD-METHOD, SDLC phases covered, agent personas available, skill system overview, getting started guide
+  - [x] 1.2a: Content source: derive from existing README.md, QUICK_START.md, and BMAD-METHOD documentation. This is a compilation/curation task, not original authoring
+  - [x] 1.2b: Content review: Chief Architect (Alon) reviews and approves methodology content before merge. This is NOT a developer-authored document — the developer compiles from existing sources, Alon validates accuracy
+  - [x] 1.3: Add a `version.json` or version marker in the methodology directory for version comparison (AC: #2)
+- [x] Task 2: Add methodology deployment to BMAD install pipeline (AC: #1, #3)
+  - [x] 2.1: In `lib/bmad.js`, add methodology copy step during BMAD installation (after the main BMAD install completes)
+  - [x] 2.2: Copy `lib/methodology/` contents to `_bmad-output/methodology/` in the target project
+  - [x] 2.3: Use `fs-extra` `fs.copy()` consistent with existing BMAD content deployment patterns (see `bmad.js` lines 86, 102, 131, 138)
+  - [x] 2.4: Add install summary message: `chalk.green('Methodology presentation available at: _bmad-output/methodology/')`
+  - [x] 2.5: Only execute this step when BMAD installation is requested (not for skill-only installs)
+- [x] Task 3: Implement version-aware updates (AC: #2)
+  - [x] 3.1: On subsequent installs, compare version marker in source vs target
+  - [x] 3.2: If target version is same or newer, skip copy (print: "Methodology presentation is up to date")
+  - [x] 3.3: If target version is older, copy only if `--force` flag is present OR prompt user
+  - [x] 3.4: Follow the additive-only install pattern — never delete existing methodology files (NFR5)
+- [x] Task 4: Package inclusion (AC: #4)
+  - [x] 4.1: Verify `lib/methodology/` is included in npm package (check `package.json` files field or `.npmignore`)
+  - [x] 4.2: Measure package size increase and document it
+  - [x] 4.3: If presentation includes large files (PDF, images), consider compression or markdown-only format to minimize package size
+
+## Dev Notes
+
+### Architecture Compliance
+
+- **BMAD pipeline extension:** Methodology deployment is a new step in the BMAD install pipeline. It should execute AFTER the existing 6-stage BMAD pipeline completes, not interrupt it. [Source: architecture.md#Pipeline-Architecture]
+- **Additive-only:** Follow NFR5 — never remove existing files during install. Version comparison prevents unwanted overwrites. [Source: architecture.md#Error-Handling]
+- **BMAD-conditional:** Only deploy when BMAD installation is requested. The `installBmad()` function in `bmad.js:13` is the entry point. [Source: lib/bmad.js:13]
+
+### Existing BMAD Content Deployment Pattern
+
+The `bmad.js` module already deploys content to target projects using `fs-extra`:
+
+```javascript
+// From bmad.js — existing pattern for copying content:
+await fs.copy(path.join(sourceDir, file), path.join(configTargetDir, file));  // line 86
+await fs.copy(workflowSourceDir, workflowTargetDir);  // line 131
+await fs.copy(templateSourceDir, templateTargetDir);  // line 138
+```
+
+Follow this exact pattern for methodology deployment. The `fs-extra` dependency is already available.
+
+### Methodology Content Format Decision
+
+**Recommended: Markdown-only** — aligns with the project's plain-text philosophy:
+- Small package size impact (~50-100KB for comprehensive markdown)
+- Renders well in any editor or GitHub
+- Can be converted to PDF/slides by the user if needed
+- No binary files to manage
+
+**Alternative: PDF** — better for formal presentation:
+- Larger package size impact (~1-5MB per presentation)
+- Not editable, less version-friendly
+- Better visual presentation for team meetings
+
+### `_bmad-output/methodology/` Target Directory
+
+The `_bmad-output/` directory is version-controlled project knowledge (per architecture F3 decision — not gitignored). The methodology presentation becomes part of the project's knowledge base, committed alongside planning artifacts and implementation artifacts.
+
+### Console Output Pattern
+
+Follow existing console output conventions from `bmad.js`:
+```
+  ✓ Methodology presentation installed to _bmad-output/methodology/
+  Hint: Share this with your team for BMAD-METHOD onboarding
+```
+
+Or if up to date:
+```
+  ✓ Methodology presentation is up to date (v1.0.0)
+```
+
+### Sprint Status Note: Story 6.2 Not in Sprint
+
+Epic 6 Story 6.2 (Add Methodology Overview Command — `npx ma-agents methodology`) exists in the epics file but was not included in sprint planning. If 6-1 is completed, 6-2 can be added via correct-course if desired.
+
+### Phase 2 Dependencies (Cross-Reference)
+
+- **Epic 8 (BMAD extension module):** Story 6.1 modifies `lib/bmad.js`. Phase 2 also modifies `bmad.js` for extension module deployment. If Epic 8 ships first, the methodology deployment step must be added after the extension deployment step. Coordinate insertion point.
+- **Content directory:** Methodology lives in `lib/methodology/` which is separate from `lib/bmad-extension/`. No conflict, but both are deployed by `bmad.js`.
+
+### Critical Guardrails
+
+- **Do NOT modify the BMAD 6-stage pipeline order** — methodology deployment is a post-pipeline step [Source: architecture.md#Pipeline-Architecture]
+- **Only modify `lib/bmad.js`** for deployment logic [Source: architecture.md#Module-Boundaries]
+- **Use `fs-extra` `fs.copy()`** — already a project dependency, no new deps needed [Source: package.json:31]
+- **Use `path.join()` for all paths** [Source: architecture.md#Enforcement-Guidelines]
+- **No new npm dependencies** [Source: architecture.md#Anti-Patterns]
+
+### Project Structure Notes
+
+- Files to create: `lib/methodology/` directory with presentation content
+- Files to modify: `lib/bmad.js` (add methodology deployment step after BMAD install)
+- No changes to `installer.js`, `agents.js`, or `cli.js`

+# Story 8.1: Move Instruction Injection to TOP Priority Position
+
+Status: done
+
+<!-- Note: Validation is optional. Run validate-create-story for quality check before dev-story. -->
+
+## Story
+
+As a **Chief Architect**,
+I want the MA-AGENTS-START instruction block injected at the TOP of agent instruction files (after any file headers),
+So that skills have highest priority during LLM context processing.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1. **Given** installer runs for any markdown-based agent,
+   **When** instruction block is injected,
+   **Then** block is placed at TOP after file headers (YAML frontmatter),
+   **And** skipPatterns from agent's injectionStrategy in agents.js are respected
+
+2. **Given** instruction file already has MA-AGENTS-START block,
+   **When** installer runs again,
+   **Then** existing block is found and replaced in-place,
+   **And** no duplicate blocks created
+
+3. **Given** instruction file has no existing ma-agents block,
+   **When** installer injects for first time,
+   **Then** block inserted after skipped headers but before all other content
+
+## Tasks / Subtasks
+
+- [x] Task 1: Implement header-skip logic in `updateAgentInstructions()` (AC: #1, #3)
+  - [x] 1.1: In `lib/installer.js` at line 110, modify `updateAgentInstructions()` to accept and read `agent.injectionStrategy` (defaults to `{ position: 'top', skipPatterns: [] }` if not present)
+  - [x] 1.2: Create a helper function `findInsertionPoint(content, skipPatterns)` that returns the character index after all skipped headers
+  - [x] 1.3: For skipPattern `'---'`, implement YAML frontmatter detection: find the opening `---` on line 1 (or after leading whitespace), then find the closing `---`, skip past the entire block including trailing newline
+  - [x] 1.4: Return insertion index as the position immediately after all skipped headers
+
+- [x] Task 2: Change non-BMAD branches from append to top-insert (AC: #1, #3)
+  - [x] 2.1: Understand the three-branch structure in `updateAgentInstructions()` (lines 138-156):
+    - **IF branch** (lines 141-143): File exists AND has existing MA-AGENTS block → regex replace in-place. NO CHANGE needed.
+    - **ELSE branch** (line 145): File exists, NO existing block → currently appends. CHANGE to top-insert.
+    - **ELSE-IF branch** (lines 147-153): File does NOT exist AND agent is BMAD → skip (guard clause). NO CHANGE needed.
+    - **Final ELSE** (lines 154-155): File does NOT exist AND agent is NOT BMAD → creates new file. CHANGE to top-insert.
+  - [x] 2.2: At line 145, replace `content += wrappedInstruction` with top-insertion using `findInsertionPoint()`
+  - [x] 2.3: Splice `wrappedInstruction` into content: `content = content.slice(0, insertIdx) + wrappedInstruction + content.slice(insertIdx)`
+  - [x] 2.4: At lines 154-155, replace `content = wrappedInstruction` with top-insertion (for new files, functionally identical but keeps logic consistent)
+  - [x] 2.5: Ensure a blank line separates the injected block from subsequent content in both branches
+
+- [x] Task 3: Preserve existing replace-in-place behavior (AC: #2)
+  - [x] 3.1: Verify the existing regex replacement at line 141-143 (`content.replace(regex, wrappedInstruction.trim())`) still works correctly — this handles the update scenario
+  - [x] 3.2: No changes needed to the IF branch (lines 141-143). Both the ELSE branch (line 145) and Final ELSE (lines 154-155) change to top-insert
+  - [x] 3.3: Add a test scenario: inject once (goes to top), then run again (replaces in-place, stays at top)
+
+- [x] Task 4: Handle edge cases (AC: #1, #3)
+  - [x] 4.1: Empty file — insert wrappedInstruction as sole content
+  - [x] 4.2: File with only YAML frontmatter — insert after frontmatter
+  - [x] 4.3: File with no frontmatter — insert at position 0
+  - [x] 4.4: File with multiple `---` (e.g., horizontal rules later in file) — only skip the frontmatter pair at the very beginning, not later `---` lines
+  - [x] 4.5: BMAD agent files (.md) — same logic applies; frontmatter skip works the same way
+  - [x] 4.6: Cline dual instruction files — Cline has `instructionFiles: ['.cline/clinerules.md', '.clinerules']`. Both files receive injection. The `.clinerules` file (no .md extension) is treated identically — same `findInsertionPoint()` logic applies. Verify both files get correct top-insertion.
+
+- [x] Task 5: Manual verification (AC: #1, #2, #3)
+  - [x] 5.1: Create a test `.md` file with YAML frontmatter + existing content, run injection, verify block appears after frontmatter and before content
+  - [x] 5.2: Run injection a second time on the same file, verify no duplicates and block stays in position
+  - [x] 5.3: Test with a file that has no frontmatter, verify block at position 0
+  - [x] 5.4: Test with BMAD agent instruction file (`_bmad/bmm/agents/sre.md`)
+
+## Dev Notes
+
+### Architecture Compliance
+
+- **Single module change:** Only `lib/installer.js` is modified in this story
+- **Agent-agnostic:** The installer reads `injectionStrategy` from the agent object but does NOT hardcode agent-specific logic. If `injectionStrategy` is missing, it defaults to `{ position: 'top', skipPatterns: [] }`
+- **Dependency on Story 8.2:** Story 8.2 adds the `injectionStrategy` property to agents.js. This story should implement the logic that reads it, with a sensible default so it works even before 8.2 is complete
+- **path.join():** Not relevant here (operating on file content, not paths)
+
+### Critical Guardrails
+
+- Do NOT change the IF branch (lines 141-143) that handles replace-in-place — it already works correctly
+- Do NOT hardcode agent names or agent-specific logic in installer.js
+- Do NOT modify agents.js in this story (that is Story 8.2)
+- The `findInsertionPoint()` function must handle the `---` pattern as a YAML frontmatter block delimiter (between opening and closing `---`), NOT as a single-line skip
+- Ensure backward compatibility: if `injectionStrategy` is undefined on an agent, default to top insertion with no skip patterns
+
+### Project Structure Notes
+
+- **File to modify:** `lib/installer.js` — specifically the `updateAgentInstructions()` function starting at line 110
+- **Lines of interest:**
+  - Lines 130-132: marker definitions (`MA-AGENTS-START`, `MA-AGENTS-END`, `wrappedInstruction`)
+  - Lines 141-143: existing regex replace (IF branch — keep as-is)
+  - Line 145: current append logic (ELSE branch — change to top-insert)
+  - Lines 147-153: BMAD guard clause (ELSE-IF — keep as-is, skips BMAD files not yet deployed)
+  - Lines 154-155: new non-BMAD file creation (Final ELSE — change to top-insert)
+- **New helper:** `findInsertionPoint(content, skipPatterns)` — add as a private function in installer.js
+
+### References
+
+- [Source: lib/installer.js#L110-L161] — `updateAgentInstructions()` function
+- [Source: lib/agents.js#L17-L253] — Agent registry (injectionStrategy will be added by Story 8.2)
+
+### Dependencies
+- **Must be implemented BEFORE Story 8.2** — This story implements the `findInsertionPoint()` logic that reads `injectionStrategy`. Story 8.2 adds the data. This story uses a sensible default (`{ position: 'top', skipPatterns: [] }`) so it works before 8.2 is complete.
+
+## Dev Agent Record
+
+### Agent Model Used
+Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context)
+
+### Debug Log References
+- No debug issues encountered
+
+### Completion Notes List
+- Implemented `findInsertionPoint(content, skipPatterns)` helper function in `lib/installer.js` that detects YAML frontmatter (`---` blocks) and returns insertion index after them
+- Changed ELSE branch (existing file, no block) from append (`content += wrappedInstruction`) to top-insert using `findInsertionPoint()`
+- Changed Final ELSE branch (new non-BMAD file) to use consistent top-insert logic
+- IF branch (replace-in-place) left unchanged per guardrails — regex replacement still works correctly
+- BMAD guard clause left unchanged — BMAD files still skipped when not yet deployed
+- Default `injectionStrategy` is `{ position: 'top', skipPatterns: [] }` when not present on agent, ensuring backward compatibility before Story 8.2
+- Exported `findInsertionPoint` and `_testUpdateAgentInstructions` for test access
+- Created 24 automated tests covering: findInsertionPoint unit tests (11), integration tests for top-insertion and replace-in-place (5), edge case tests (7), extra integration coverage (1)
+- All manual verification scenarios passed: frontmatter skip, no-duplicate on re-run, no-frontmatter top-insert, BMAD skip, Cline dual files
+- Code review follow-ups addressed: H1 (dead code removed), H2 (leading blank line fixed), M1 (double newline fixed), M2 (Cline dual-file test added), M3 (BMAD agent tests added), M4 (File List updated), L1 (skipPatterns integration test added), L2 (test 4.3 added)
+
+### File List
+- `lib/installer.js` — Added `findInsertionPoint()` helper, changed append to top-insert in ELSE/Final-ELSE branches, exported new functions
